Dark tendrils creeping into my heart
Shadows covering my mind
Ripping and tearing me apart
Such a pain that makes me blind

A forceful stab of isolation
The tendrils sinking deeper still
Falling to my own damnation
I just wait, for when they'll ****

That final blow, it never lands
I can hear their quiet glee
Squeezing my heart with their hands
While I hopelessly try to flee

They say there's always hope for light
Even in the darkest days
Yet as I claw and as fight
I cannot escape my mind's maze

Inside I sob, inside I cry
It's just us, the tendrils and I
